“This post is from Pacific Northwest Foodies. Doc’s Marina Grill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been on the quest for a great Crab Louie salad for a few years. Sadly, this classic crab salad is hard to find even in states like Washington. I suspect it has to do with most people not wanting to pay a lot of money for a salad, but if you’ve ever had a great one, you know this one is worth it. After doing a lot of research, I made a point to try the one at Doc’s Marina Grill on Bainbridge Island, Washington. There’s also a location in Port Townsend, Washington. For starters, I ordered a cup of Doc’s House Made Clam Chowder ($8) - famous because it’s “oh-so-good!” It needed a sprinkle of salt, but it was very good. For my entrée, I ordered Doc’s Dungeness Crab Louie ($38) - mixed greens topped with tender crab, seasonal vegetables, heirloom tomatoes and Doc’s house-made Louie dressing. I was impressed! I would rate Doc’s Crab Louie a 4/5. It was beautifully presented, had a generous portion of crab, and the house made Louie dressing was excellent! I would give this salad a perfect rating if they removed the red onion, and added a few black olives and asparagus spears. Even so, I was very happy with my salad and would rank it among one the best Crab Louie’s I’ve ever had. It is certainly the best I’ve had in Washington state. In addition to serving great food, I really enjoyed the ambience of Doc’s, and the service was excellent! I look forward to visiting again and try and some new menu items. *The upstairs level and bathrooms are wheelchair accessible. * There is an opening above the urinal that is a giant periscope. It provides a panoramic view of Eagle Harbor. It was designed by Lee Scott, a Carnegie Mellon graduate student. If you don’t use a urinal, but are interested in seeing the periscope, staff will clear the room so you can check it out too. I didn’t know about this until after my visit. Next time, I will be sure to check it out. 😊 Highly Recommended!!!“

“AMAZING FOOD!!!!!♥️ Food was hot and delicious! Friendly staff and atmosphere! Always happy to return!“

“The food was great and the team working was amazing the best service ever.“

“When I walked into Holy Water, I felt like I’d stepped inside my favorite kooky aunt’s house. She was the black sheep of the family who made me laugh a little too much when we were forced to go to church to appease my grandmother. Eventually, we were forbidden to sit next to one another because we’d both be in tears and giggling so loudly that the entire congregation would turn to stare us down. That sort of irreverent (yet respectful and funny) vibe is part of Holy Water’s DNA. This place immediately makes you feel welcome. It doesn’t take itself too seriously- that is except for the food. If only my kooky aunt was as good a cook… The staff is amazing. They were patient when my lunch companion had to make some bizarre alterations to his order. (He’d just had a wisdom tooth pulled a couple of days before and needed softer foods.) When we were ready to leave and still had way too much food on our plates, a staff member saw the look of surrender on our face and quickly boxed up the remainders and told us that she’d added some extra gravy (yum!) for us to take home. (Who doesn’t love extra sausage gravy?) I love this place. The food is great but what really makes this spot shine is the people. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Great atmosphere, good tunes and yummy food. the Honey prawns are exceptional.“

“This is a gem worth the detour. The dough—made from organic flour—is light, chewy, and full of character, with just the right blister from the oven. Their in-house marinara is rich, bright, and clearly made with care—no shortcuts here.

The fridge wall has a curated selection of excellent brews and rotating taps never disappoint. A locals’ favourite.
Thanks for all your hard work Ballard Beer Box!“

“I had their Greek burger which was the special for the day and it was amazing! Their onion rings are so good also. Katie was our server and did an outstanding job as usual. We got greeted by Dan with his big smile and he always makes us feel welcome.“

“Amazing cocktail bar focused on the wide variety inherent in Amari - think things like Aperol and Campari and Montenegro and Averna and many many others, each unique, with a few loose styles. Jeff the bartender uses his encyclopedic knowledge of the range of Amari to craft inventive cocktails. Even if you aren’t normally a bitter palate person give it a go.“

“The Manette Saloon has now adopted an updated menu and added Brunch to their food options.

After trying the Brunch twice I am impressed with the multiple dishes as well as the value for each dish.

My wife ordered the two egg breakfast which was 12$ and I had the same item but added a country fried chicken with gravy for 8$ more. I also highly recommend their sin-o-bun and biscuits & gravy.

They also serve coffee, bloody Marys, and other drink options. The space has also been updated so now seating options are booths and tables and no more stools and barrels like the previous owners had.

You owe it to come out and try their brunch.“

“existing. *facebook wants more chars, so here they are...“

“Great place.. Karl is the best“

“One of the most comfortable and “beer pub” styled beer bars in Seattle, and a great anchor for Morgan junction. Excellent local tap list and large interior - comfortable bar and lots of seating. Fun games on the other side and great bartenders.“

“I love the staff. They are welcoming and engaging“

“Sevilla｜Special Milk Coffee This is a rare special coffee that is not sweet. There are some chocolate chips at the bottom. Overall, it has a mellow cocoa flavor with some orange fragrance.“

“I’ve never been super into vegetarian or vegan food options but this restaurant makes me rethink my approach. They have a creative menu and high quality food. Everything I try ends up being my new favorite.“

“I absolutely love small family run businesses like details wine bar. They went out of their way to accommodate our girls day out with a friend visiting from out of state. They made us feel like we were visiting good friends on a Saturday afternoon. The wine was incredible (thank you for the recommendation!) and we will definitely be back.“

“I don't know how else to say it, but this place is solid.
The beers are cold and tasty, the food is amazing, and the staff... They are the main reason I keep coming back.
I'm not sure who does the hiring there, but keep it up.“

“We went to Tracyton Public House for the first time last night and immediately felt welcomed. When the man at the door was checking IDs, we mentioned we’d never been in and he gave us his food recommendations. We took him up on that and ordered the wings! They are SO insanely good (and HUGE!!). Each sauce we got was remarkable. So much flavor. The bartender was very nice and friendly and welcoming. The whole vibe of the place was really cool. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Great place w amazing service! Ian will take care of ya“

“Alice makes a wicked Paloma!! Go find out yourself!“

“Great German beers, friendly service, nice place to chill in West Seattle.“

“I stopped by Lock & Keel the other night and had one of those small but meaningful experiences that remind you why some bars just get it right. I ordered a Diet Coke, but for some reason, my credit card wouldn’t work in their system. Before I could even start fumbling for cash or awkwardly apologizing, the bartender—this super sweet girl with black hair and a nose ring—just smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it, it’s on me.”

It wasn’t about the free drink; it was about the vibe. She was friendly, calm, and made what could’ve been an embarrassing moment feel like nothing at all. You don’t always get that kind of kindness in busy bars, and it stood out.

Lock & Keel isn’t just a place to grab a drink—it’s a spot where the staff genuinely seem to care about making people feel welcome. Shoutout to the bartender with the nose ring and black hair—thank you for the Diet Coke and the good energy.

This place deserves all five stars. Cheers!“

“Looking for a breakfast place for Sunday-after-church. Never thought to stop here as we’re not golfers. . . What a find! Nice and quiet, you can watch the golfers on the driving range, and good food. Great service and reasonable prices. Hubby had the Sampler breakfast and I had the Hash Brown Stack. Best hash browns I’ve had. Only complaints? The coffee isn’t strong enough for me, and the food plate had a big chip on it. Otherwise, top notch. We’ll be back. ❤️“

“Super fun little bar case with a great atmosphere and wonderful service. My friends and I spent about $5 each to play games and have a really silly night. I really enjoyed the frozen drink, too, though it gave my two brain cells brain freeze 😹“

“what a great time at the Manchester Pub. Hope to be back there soon .🎶🎵♥️“

“The brunch menu brought us in, but the service and atmosphere had us feeling like regulars. Mimosa’s, eggs Bennie’s, and Pattie K set the vibe.
Pattie K was friendly, super efficient, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Even when it got busy, she was on it, and you could tell she really cared about the guest experience. This is definitely a must visit spot!“

“The atmosphere at Dog Yard Bar was so much fun. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. I can't wait to visit again!“

“Live Jazz in a secret location.“

“Visited with some friends, ordered garlic burger medium with a little pink however it didn’t have any pink. Still was a good burger. Friends ordered fish and chips and they were a little bit overdone but they said it was still good.“

“My absolutely favorite bar in West Seattle. Amazing atmosphere but please hire nicer people as bartenders, people who actually have customer service skills. Often get one bartender who is very rude and unpersonable, seems to hate her job. 💔“

“the best dive bar in Bremerton.“

“@manao chicken burgers 🍔 and drinks“

“Great food and service! Lots of TVs for football season.“

“real friendly and relaxed“

“Great pub and great area!
Was there on Friday evening after a football game and the store was packed.
Cool people with whom you can quickly get into conversation.
Attention, take a jacket with you ? The air conditioning is set quite hard.
My highlight as a German, they had Underberg!
Prices are absolutely ok!“

“You can drink and then if you’re having a “Bad Hair Day” you can get a haircut!“

“Great dining. Excellent staff taking care of details. Food was delish !“

“Sat on the patio with my dog. Great service, good food. They made a plain burger for my dog. He got lots of attention from staff and customers, very happy.“

“Seattle’s own “Real Fisherman’s Wharf.” Good service, great food, not fussy or pretentious. The price is reasonable and the quality is consistent. When I have guests in town, Chinook’s is always on the list of places to go. In a single word “Seattle.”“
